Does this device have an emergency alarm, so that it will wake you up if there CO gas is in the room? Suitable for travel?

This device is designed for checking CO levels in a room or wherever for a small amount of time. This is not a CO alarm. This device does beep/alarm when it detects CO at a level of 35ppm or more. This device has an auto off feature that turns the unit off after 15 minutes. The unit does work well though by reading the current level wherever you are at once you turn it on. It is pretty small so I would say it is suitable for travel. Hope this helps!

The CO GAS alarm has adhered. There are not some obstacles in carrying though it is large.

This device is not a monitoring device, because it turns off after 15-20 minutes. It is used to check the levels of CO in an area and it does have an alarm that sounds when it is at a certain level while you are measuring, so you will know that the CO level is high. So it would not be suitable for traveling unless you just want to know if there is CO present in the place you are going to stay or at.

Look for a combustible gas alarm instead such as the Kidde KN-COEG-3 or the SafetySiren Family Safety Combustible Gas Alarm.

No not really,you just have to be careful in listening for it. The alarm is not "soft" but it isn't necessarily load either.

Make sure you bought the one for ng and not propane. I sure wouldn't burn it if your alarm keeps sounding.

No, it does not have an alarm. If you want some sort of signal when it turns off, I leave the light on which turns off automatically with the diffuser.

this only detects smoke/steam; it does not detect carbon monoxide. It would be useful anywhere that you can hear it.

You posed an interesting question so I thought I would do some research on the internet. According to the user documentation for this model (the documentation can be found under the "Download" tab on the http://www.firstalert.com/component/flexicontent/45-battery/288-battery-operated-carbon-monoxide-alarm web page), the CO detector can be installed "In Mobile Homes: Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes often transfer heat and cold from outdoors. The Alarm should be located at least 6 inches (152 mm) from all exterior walls and at least 12 inches (305 mm) from supply or return vents." (I realize a mobile home is not an RV but the above information should be useful in determining if there is a place available given the above requirements.) The document also lists where co alarms should not be installed: "DO NOT LOCATE THIS CO ALARM: * In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. * Closer than 20 feet (6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater. * Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. * In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity. * In areas where temperature is colder than 40 F (4.4 C) or hotter than 100 F (37.8 C). These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages. * In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors. * Outside the Mobile Home. * In direct sunlight." I hope this helps.

yes it does have an alarm system, which allows you to wake up to whatever radio station you have a set on. Great sound! Great buy! I love it! I use it at home and in all of my cafes! I am ordering More very soon! Customers can not Believe the sound that comes out of that little radio.

No .. You have to use cell. This is not usable without alarm.com and it's app.

Yes, although I thought the directions were a little confusing at first. This clock is a tidy little item on the bedside table, but to tell the truth, I don't use it for an alarm anymore. If you have a smartphone, subscribe to Pandora radio and use the alarm feature there. Wake up to the music of your choice.

Yes, but consult the user manual for placement. This answer is based on the manufacturer's technical specifications. I heat with natural gas and have had no false alarms. Also have not tried to force an alarm by exposing unit to gas.

This is a surface mount unit. What you need is a flush mount or recessed carbon monoxide alarm. Case Dimensions: Cut Out: 5.5" x 3". The front of the unit is 6.5" x 3.5" x 1 3/8 Deep. There is also a combination propane and co alarm with Case Size - 6.375"W x 2.875"H x 1.25"D - Cut Out : 5 3/8" x 1 7/8. Hope this helps. Safe Home Screw Holes: Centered, approx. 6" apart.

Not technically, but if you aren't a total bone head you should be fine. I use one in my rig and it works great. Get an o2 meter and a carbon monoxide alarm, don't run it when no one is home, and I don't run mine while I sleep.

No, unless there is CO2 or natural gas detected, the screen on the device reads "---."

There is no alarm to set on this app to allow an alarm to sound if the Sat drops below a certain level. There is a pitch toned to the pulse Oximeter which works well, and should be a very useful software enhancement to the much more basic $30 finger probe.

I believe it needs to be near you. I tried across the room myself and didn't wake me up at all.It sits on the night stand and I face that way and it gently wakes me up. Soooo much better than an alarm. I love it. Bought one for my son and works well for him too !
